Here is an example letter one school sent to parents about their Group Order. Items in [brackets] should be updated to fit your school policies.
Dear Parents,
It’s the fall again and every fall we do a wonderfully easy fundraiser with For Small Hands (from Montessori Services).
This fundraiser is an opportunity to purchase high-quality materials, activities, and tools for children while supporting our school! When you order from For Small Hands, and your total is more than $25, our school receives a credit towards future school purchases. Many of our families also included aunts, uncles, and grandparents in this fundraiser. The more you order, the more credit we get! Last year’s order helped us purchase over [$xxx] in classroom items such as [list items bought last year here].
After collecting everyone's order forms we will create a group order. Our group order will qualify for free shipping if submitted by [Oct xx (choose a date at least a week before the deadline)], so start making your gift-giving list now! Use the attached order form and visit forsmallhands.com to choose your items. In order to qualify for free shipping, order forms must be turned in by [day of the week, October xx, same date as above].
Make checks payable to [your school]. No credit cards will be accepted [some schools do accept credit cards or other forms of payment like Venmo, or PayPal] - this is a group order and to qualify for free shipping all items must all go on one order. Please drop completed order forms to us at [very specific location for turning in order forms].
Recap of the information:
Please contact [contact person, email, and possibly phone number] if you have questions.
Thank you for supporting our school!
